We stayed at the Bentleys hotel after wanting a welcome break before going to the theme parks of Orlando, we came there as two groups and in the months coming my friend decided that Bentleys was the perfect place for them to get married.

We flew to Tampa rather than Orlando and we had a traffic free drive down to the hotel. On arriving we were instantly pleased, the hotel decor was really plush and we immediately went and checked the tiki bar. We were travelling with children and after a long flight were instantly pleased with the family atomosphere. There were people in the pool and we immediately felt at home. I stay in hotels and locations across the world and often they put a curfew on the pool access, however Bentleys did not and it made the environment feel very warm and family friendly and plus the children in our group could immediately cool off from the hot sticky night.

I have never been to a tiki bar before but this was perfect to what I had expected, we was able to drink at the bar with cooling spray or just sit around the pool. The drinks were reasonably priced and a great selection. One of the children we was with decided to eat and we got the chicken wings from the pool bar, though Bentleys was the first on our trip through Florida I can only say that the wings here were the best we ate during our whole stay. One of our party got through 44 of them in 2 days and he was only 11. Definately a Floridian in the making !!!

As it was our friends wedding we decided to pay for a suite as we were only there for a few days, however some of our other friends had standard rooms all were of exceptional quality and comfort and as good if not better than some of the 5 star Marriotts I have stayed in. I have to say my suite in size and quality was much better than many rooms I have stayed in across the world, in addition (and who could not want this !!) a table football table in the room. It was just simply perfect, in addition our room walked out onto the pool area and acted as a sun terrace and made walking to the pool easy in the morning and more like an extension of your own private pool.

Obviously being British we loved the theme of the hotel, each room is named after a London tube station and there is many other British memorabilia around the hotel, I have to say remembering a location rather than your room number definitely helps especially after the many drinks at the tiki bar !!!!

In regards to the wedding, Bentleys staff went all out, we were fortunate to meet the Reverand who was absolutely wonderful and (i believe it is Misty) whom was the wedding planner ...also the photographer ..i have seen some photos of the wedding and it looked amazing. They had a perfect wedding on the beach and got extremely lucky with the weather. The wedding was done on a private beach owned by the hotel, its a wonderful place in itself, absolutely stunning. I was advised the hotel also does couple retreats there and if I was going to come back I think I would have to do a night there to just be on the beach !!!

All in all we had a fantastic stay and after visiting Orlando and Disney I only wanted to go back.

They are about 6/7 miles away from has to be said one of the best beaches in the USA ...and we went for drinks and food in Siesta key which has lovely vibe to it and one of the nicest places I have been in the US. Also and as a little gem right across the road is a state park, I personally thought this was a little gem. There are some nice trails and walks you can do and I would go running every day there, even coming across some of the most beutifull wildlife I have come across.

Totally recommend this and highly recommend staying there and this coming from a platinum marriott member. Had I known boutique hotels could be of this quality then Marriott will be losing some of there business !!!!

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of July on a road trip around Florida. The hotel is in a great location to visit the beautiful beaches nearby, including Siesta Key, Venice and Caspersen Beach. We had a double double pool side room which was located in one corner which had an outside terraced area with seating and fan. The hotel is a 2 storey motel style property that centres around a lovely pool and Tiki Bar. Even though we were close to the pool it was very quiet and the bar shut at a reasonable hour. The rooms are very well decorated in a modern style and the bathroom was very large. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. All the staff were very polite and helpful. To summarise I would say that the hotel is a very clean, contemporary, friendly hotel with a great atmosphere and in a great location to explore the Sarasota bay area.

We stayed at Bentley's in Sarasota for three days.... what a wonderful little hotel! Recently remodeled, the rooms are clean and fresh with all updated and nice linens and furnishings. The breakfast and free wi-fi are a huge bonus and we did not find a lot of hotels in the area that offered all of this as such a great price. Both my husband and I felt this was the best deal in town and a great find to make our trip complete!!! Close to beaches, but easily accessible to the highway and exploring the area.

We spent both evenings down at the Tiki Bar.... Tina, our waitress, was a doll with great recommendations and attentive service!! (all with a smile!!) Our room overlooked the pool with a great view of the Tiki Bar and lights all evening. Fun to sit on the balcony and watch the people.... live band one night and even a small wedding reception/dinner one night!

I highly recommend this little hotel.... cannot beat the price and the amenities! Also try to tiki bar.... from lobster to pizza.... drinks were good and the people were super accomodating!!

Room Tip: Request a room on the second floor, overlooking the pool.... a small extra charge was well worth the...

We wanted to get away for a weekend so I found this hotel online. It's amazing. The bathrooms are huge, the beds are very comfortable and I was worried about noise because our room had huge windows and right off the pool but we never heard anything. The location is great. Maybe 20 mins to siesta key and 15 to Venice beach. I can't wait to go back. The pool is awesome and you really don't even have to leave the hotel. They have a great restaurant and tiki bar and grill on site.

Room Tip: pool side rooms are definitely worth it.

We didn't want to leave. The Hotel was comfortable,convenient, accomadating,clean, and had a nice modern contemporary design inside and out. The Staff was both friendly and knowlegable.Morgan's restraunt was nice and Tiki Bar & Grill. Dianne the bartender was very helpful and friendly and the grill cooks. The pool was nice, pool area was very relaxing, and was very pretty and beach like. Lobby also has computers and a relaxing seating area. The complimentary breakfast was pretty decent and had a variety. You could also choose to order and pay for a cooked breakfast. It's served in the Morgan's restraunt. The room was comfortable. It has a mini fridge in it which was helpful. Hotel is not on the beach but it's close and they do offer transportation to and from. It's on the main road which made it convenient to go places and was also convenient to 75. Over All loved my stay!

I have visited Bentley s a number of times but recently I am spending Sunday afternoons at their Tiki bar, why I hear you ask, is it the music that is played is it the fantastic food that is served or could it be the service from the delightful staff ? Well all of the listed but with a beer and the pool and the relaxing ambiance an afternoon in paradise.

Thank you for sharing about your recent time spent at the Tiki bar. It is always a pleasure to hear how much one loves our outdoor oasis. From our pool to the tiki bar and grill, there is something here for everyone. Have you tried Morgan's yet? Chef Izzy has prepared an incredible menu from the hand dusted coconut shrimp to the grilled coulotte steak. Also if you play an instrument you can play for us on Thursdays in Morgans from 7pm to 10m for our open jam nights. You should try it on your next sunny funday at the Bentley's Boutique Hotel.

This was our first time staying at Siesta Key, hotel was chosen via the internet. The price was more than reasonable and it fully lived up to our expectations. It was memorable not only for the standard of the hotel but also the friendliness of the staff, especially Angela and her colleagues at the Tiki Bar, we will definitely return next year.
